After not visiting the place of my birth in 10 years I decided it was time. The house was in a perfect spot in Canterbury, very close to everything. I arrived earlier than anticipated on the day and decided to check the location out before I went to see my parents in Chartham. Chris had just finished preparing the house and invited me in, gave me a tour and handed me the keys. There was a welcome basket of bread, milk, wine and various sundries which was really appreciated, even though there was a Waitrose supermarket just up the road, but again appreciated after a 10 hour flight and 2 hour drive. The house was clean, comfortable and cozy. Added to that was the fact that parking was included which was a complete bonus staying in Canterbury with its narrow streets and very limited parking, just remember if you're traveling from the States that smaller vehicles are king in the UK with its old roads, streets and limited parking!
Will certainly be back in the UK much sooner than the long hiatus I took and would definitely consider this house again if I wanted to base myself in Canterbury. It was a pleasure meeting you both that day of check in. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thanks for making the stay very comfortable.

Hosts Jenny and Robert were hospitable, friendly and helpful - respecting privacy but always happy to answer questions and make suggestions about the area. The Stables were clean, comfortable and secure. There was nothing we needed that was not provided. This is a wonderful base from which to explore Oxford, Bath, Henley, Reading and surrounding villages with east access to London. The local area is fascinating with great walking trails and a very cosy local pub - with great food! We have recommended The Old Stables to a number of our friends since returning home.

We have stayed at numerous Home Away vacation rentals both in Europe and the U.S. and this is by a good bit the best accommodations we have ever stayed at. Clean, comfortable, and spacious. I highly recommend it.
